- 4.024 Aug 2023Cabin Crew MemberCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearStansted Mountfitchet, England
Pros
Great crew Amazing 5-3 roster Great experience to take into any job Built a great network
Cons
Take more money off you for calling in sick than you actually earn in a day. Got charged almost £200 for two sick days Crew control literally treat you like a work/slave-horse. Dont care about your wellbeing until you start calling in sick because you’re fatigued, then they take huge amounts out of your pay. Minimum rest almost every day, i’m back at the airport less than 12 hours after leaving, I only live 30 minutes away.

Pros
Loved the stable 5-3 roster HR Are friendly 10 months and your already a supervisor
Cons
Where do we start? Crew control not caring about welfare and crew min rest Getting phoned off standby hours before standby duty even starts. Low pay. Shear bullying from management and staff If you report someone for doing something you get into trouble for it. Same goes if you don’t - you can never win. European base managers bully the staff to the point they cry Aircraft constantly breaking. You do not make 10% commission
